Question

Given the system of equations presented here:

4x + y = 4
2x + 6y = 24

Which action creates an equivalent system that will eliminate one variable when they are combined?

Multiply the first equation by −4 to get −16x − 4y = −16.
Multiply the second equation by −4 to get −8x − 24y = −96.
Multiply the first equation by −2 to get −8x − 2y = −8.
Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −4x − 12y = −48.

Answer 1

yep its D

Explanation:

Answer 2

D Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −4x − 12y = −48.

Explanation:

Answer:

Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −4x − 12y = −48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4x + y = 4 (1)

2x + 6y = 24 (2)

Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −4x − 12y = −48.

4x + y = 4 (1)

−4x − 12y = −48 (3)

Variable x can be eliminated by adding the equations

4x + (-4x) + y + (-12y) = 4 + (-48)

4x - 4x + y - 12y = 4 - 48

0 - 11y = -44

-11y = -44

Divide both sides by -11

y = -44/-11

= 4

y = 4
